Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Logically speaking, if the barrier set up by the other party has no restrictions on the sorcerer, then as a constraint, the sorcerer cannot damage the barrier itself. This is determined by the rules governing the existence of barriers.

But now, the other party has broken these rules and successfully destroyed the barrier, which is completely unreasonable!

Could it be that they possess some kind of magical artifact specifically designed to counter barriers?

Regardless, after witnessing this scene, Atsuya Kusakabe became somewhat curious about this newly promoted Special Grade Spellcaster, and turned to Panda and Junpei Yoshino to ask:

"That special class student named Fujimaru Ritsuka is also a student at Tokyo Vocational High School, so you should all know her, right?"

"How strong is she compared to Gojo Satoru?"

The reason for comparing her to Gojo Satoru is not because he thinks the other's strength is comparable to Gojo Satoru's, but because Gojo Satoru is a good benchmark.

As the strongest, Gojo Satoru is the one who goes on missions the most frequently. Therefore, almost all the sorcerers have seen him in action. Compared to the other special-grade sorcerers, Gojo Satoru's strength is more concrete and clearer in their minds.

After hearing his question, the panda pondered for a moment and said:

"Neither Gojo-sensei nor Ritsuka have ever seen the other go all out, and the two have never fought each other."

"But if those two actually start fighting, I feel..."

"Ritsuka will at least not lose."

If Gojo Satoru is a perfect, all-around warrior, then Fujimaru Ritsuka is a super black hole with no upper limit, because no one knows what kind of shikigami she can summon.

Despite being a summoner, Fujimaru Ritsuka has weaknesses that make her main body easy to target.

However, after spending time together, they discovered that it was questionable whether Fujimaru Ritsuka's weakness truly existed.

At least from her usual training, it's clear that Fujimaru Ritsuka, who can do hundreds of three-finger push-ups in one go, is definitely not the ordinary person she claims to be in terms of pure physical ability.

Ultimately, perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka's own definition of an ordinary person is somewhat flawed?

"Hey, seriously?! Is this for real?!"

However, the panda's answer shocked Kusakabe Atsuya. But seeing that the other party did not mean to joke, he began to seriously digest the information and firmly remembered the name Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Meanwhile, similar conversations also occurred to varying degrees in other teams.

On the other side, the Blue Tower, the tallest building in Shibuya.

On the helipad at the top of the Blue Tower, three curse masters stood guard, their task being to protect the barrier nails of the second layer of the barrier.

Seeing the outermost barrier collapse, one of the short, stocky old men named Kurisaka said with surprise and uncertainty:

"Why was the outermost barrier dispelled? Did those guys' plan fail?"

Another elderly woman, known as the "Paying Respects Granny," remained with her hands clasped together, but she also seemed unsure of what to do. She said:

"Let's wait and see. If things really don't work out, we'll have to run away."

The third tall young man was the worshipper's grandson, standing quietly beside her without saying a word.

They were all unaffiliated, wild curse masters who joined this time because they agreed with the other party's plan.

But if things go wrong, they will run away immediately, showing no loyalty whatsoever.

"The plan is still in progress, but there has been a slight unexpected event."

At this moment, a boy (or girl?) with white hair and a bob haircut descended from the sky and landed in front of the three of them, saying:

“One of the enemy’s sorcerers seems to have a special ability to target barriers. There’s not much point in continuing to guard this place. I suggest you all change your strategy slightly.”

Kurisaka and the old woman exchanging a glance, then Kurisaka asked:

"Do you want us to go and kill that person?"

"Need not,"

Rimei, with her white-haired bob, shook her head and smiled:

"Others are already in charge over there; you two just need to join the fight."

After dismantling the outer barrier and cooperating with government personnel to evacuate all the people clinging to the perimeter of the barrier, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other teams unanimously chose to continue deeper into the area, while rescuing as many people as possible along the way.

Along the way, cursed spirits began to emerge from deeper within the barrier. Fortunately, most people on the ground were gathered at the edge of the outermost barrier, and there were not many ordinary people on the road at this time, so there were not many casualties.

Since the level of the cursed spirits that have appeared so far is not high, Yuujin Itadori and Jeanne Alter quickly cleared them out without delaying their progress.

Assistant director Tanaka, who was responsible for assisting Fujimaru Ritsuka and Itadori Yuujin, was currently by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, continuing to provide information for the upcoming events.

"According to the intelligence gathered by others, in addition to the [Tent] A1 that was specifically used to trap ordinary people, there is another defensive [Tent] A2 ahead that prohibits sorcerers from entering."

“It seems that a considerable number of cursed spirits are lurking inside A2, and some people have reported that a significant number of them were sucked into A2 before we arrived.”

Not far away, Itadori Yuujin, who was clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers, also heard the other party's report and said:

"So, we can only move forward after we destroy the second [tent], right?"

Tanaka nodded and said:

"Yes. However, intelligence indicates that A2's strength seems quite astonishing. The first-level sorcerer, Mr. Kusakabe, who was the first to investigate, tested the barrier's strength, and it seems that his attacks had no effect on the barrier whatsoever."

As he said this, he unconsciously turned his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ryougi Shiki beside her.

As expected, Fujimaru Ritsuka replied:

"This time should be fine too. You can leave the barrier to us."

"Ok, I see."

Upon hearing this, Tanaka compiled the information and passed it on to the other teams, while inwardly sighing:

As expected of a top-tier expert: calm, reliable, confident, and powerful; most importantly—

And she's super cute!

In just this short time together, he felt like he was becoming a fan of the other person.

Not long after they arrived at the second layer of the barrier, Ryougi Shiki did not hesitate for a moment. With a swift movement of her sword, the barrier collapsed once again.

Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still thinking about other things—

Liao Jianmu Ping 

Unlike the original storyline, Zhenren and Huayu, two of the four top-tier cursed spirits, have already been eliminated by her. In particular, the death of Zhenren, who played an important role in the original storyline, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on her original plan.

Moreover, it seems that the other party has indeed changed its strategy, such as deliberately misleading Gojo Satoru into believing that the other party is Natsuyuki himself.

As for the others...

"not good!"

"Master, be careful!"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a jolt of alarm bells going off in her heart, and instinctively wanted to dodge.

However, Ryougi Shiki reacted faster than her, drawing her katana and slashing back to kill the flames that suddenly attacked from behind.

Everyone immediately looked warily in the direction of the attack, only to see a short, top-tier curse spirit with a crater on its head and a man with two pigtails sticking up in the air appear before them.

"found it."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Itadori Yuujin together, Louhu's lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were icy cold.

"The targets happened to be together, which saved me the trouble of searching again."

Chapter 62 The Battlefield of Both Sides

Gojo Satoru entered the barrier alone, moving freely as if no barrier restricted him.

Ignoring the low-level cursed spirits on the surface that posed no threat, Gojo Satoru ventured deep underground from the entrance of a subway station, only to discover that a barrier existed inside the subway station.

Gojo Satoru passed through the barrier again and stopped in his tracks upon seeing the scene before him.

At this moment, the subway station inside the barrier had been transformed into a living hell.

What came into view was bright red blood, and all that could be smelled was the strong stench of blood and curses, along with screams of agony and various soft chewing sounds that never ceased.

The bloodstains on the wall had not yet dried, and the various twisted and elongated bloody handprints silently revealed the original owner's desperate state of mind at the time.

On the ground, human blood pooled into lakes, and broken bodies and organs were scattered everywhere. Many cursed spirits had already sat down and begun to feast.

Even so, a large number of humans still survived, cursing, screaming, and crying.

Some chose to run frantically to avoid the attacks of the unseen monsters, while others had already suffered a mental breakdown and quietly curled up on the ground, waiting for death to come.

"How disgusting! Luckily, I haven't eaten yet."

Gojo Satoru's smile remained unchanged as he continued walking forward, casually clearing away the cursed spirits along the way, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Moshi moshi, all you lucky ones who have survived this long, if you don't want to die, please hide behind me."

Having said that, he ignored people's reactions and continued:

"Even though I already know about your twisted personality, does dying once mean you've abandoned all moral boundaries?"

"Jay!"

"Didn't you want to create a world where only sorcerers exist?! How did you end up collaborating with spirit mediums?!"

"Or are you an imposter all along?"

However, it seemed as if he was just talking to himself; all his words fell into empty space, and no one responded at all.

"Tch, playing that game?"

He spat in annoyance, then suddenly exerted force in his hand, crushing the head of a level one cursed spirit.

"Let me clear the area first, and then we can have a proper chat!"

After saying that, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed slightly, and he instantly disappeared from the spot, rushing through the subway station at an extremely fast speed. The cursed spirits along the way didn't even have time to react before they all exploded and died!

On the other side, in a distance that Gojo Satoru couldn't yet keep an eye on, a naked eyeball was stuck to the ceiling, silently staring at him.

Hidden in the shadows, observing the five strands of fish through their eyes, one could see the fish struggling against the wind.

They've taken the bait.

It seems that even the most powerful sorcerer in modern times cannot escape the influence of emotions.

Therefore, it seems that the backup plan will not be needed.
